Cannot read property '$$testability' of undefined

See original GitHub issue

In Protractor 5.1.1 if your Angular app has a root element other than <body>, you’ll see the error Cannot read property '$$testability' of undefined. This is because browser.angularAppRoot() is expected to return the current value of app root if a value isn’t passed to it, but currently returns undefined.

Hi Contributors,

Any updates around this issue . Using protractor version 5.1.2 doesn’t resolve this issue. I have test cases suite that run one after the other and it’s quite sporadic… sometimes it works and sometimes they fail because of this issue. So, if you try to run say ~ 30 cases together , you will still get this issue using 5.1.2.

Thank you for your help.

We’re planning to do a 5.1.2 tomorrow that should include this fix.
